Has anyone else experience power supply issues with iDRAC v2.60.60.60?
I’ve been starting to see the iDRAC spamming log events like:
“The system board PS1 PG Fail voltage is outside of range.”
“Power supply 1 is incorrectly configured.”

Had a related issue on a T610 with a dual power supply.
I late ordered a 2nd processor from Dell's spare parts.
Power usage was 270-320W, usually at low end when idle -- higher
when under load. Power supply was a high efficiency ~570W.
Ran just fine for about 15 months...
A SW upgrade of the iDRAC created problems (didn't put 2+2
together until later), but it flag'ed the system as needed
an upgraded power supply to an ~840W -- and downgraded memory
and processor speeds to minimum. Dell was no help and I
ended up having to buy 2 more 840w power supplies -- being
told that being sold the proc out of parts was a mistake in
not requiring a higher-power supply. The lower efficiency of
the 800+W PS, show the idle power consumption at about 300W
now, vs. 270 with the more efficient PS.
It seems that upgrading iDRAC's may apply incompatibilities to
currently working HW requiring emergency servicing & parts
from dell.
So, it could be the new idrac SW you installed has a different range
for acceptable value. You might try downgrading the SW to the
previous version to see if that "fixes" the problem.
